What issues does the world of “ Iphones, Ipads, etc” bring to our family relationships? Students create a Reader's Theatre
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, theater was evolving rapidly in Europe. Impresarios like Georg II, Duke of the Duchy of Saxe Meinengen (in what is now Germany), were pushing theater troupes to new heights of realism. New methods of staging, acting, set building, and even rehearsing were making plays more realistic than ever. These practices spread to France with Andre Antoine's Theatre Realisme, and from there spread across Europe.

Remai Modern offers resources and activities specially designed for educators and students to help kickstart a lifelong appreciation and love of art. Remai Modern has two educational experiences for teachers to explore:
Select a Highlights Tour, featuring not-to-be-missed objects currently on view; or a Picasso Tour, with a focus on our collection of Picasso linocuts and ceramic works in historic and modern context.
